Villa with spacious terraces and panoramic views in Monte Mayor

Situated in Monte Mayor, a private residential development surrounded by nature in the hills of Benahavís, this Andalusian-style villa enjoys unobstructed views of the valleys and the Mediterranean Sea. It is approximately 10 km from the beaches and amenities of the coast, 15 km from the centre of Benahavís, 20 km from Puerto Banús and 25 km from Marbella. Nearby is the Marbella Club Golf Resort, featuring a golf course, restaurant and equestrian centre. The development features 24-hour security and extensive protected green spaces that help to preserve the tranquillity of the surroundings.

Built in 2008 on an elevated plot of almost 3,000 m², the villa has undergone significant improvements by its current owners, including the refurbishment of the kitchen and utility room, the upgrading of the outdoor areas and tasteful interior décor. The architecture retains traditional Andalusian features, such as terracotta floors with wooden inlays, arched windows and sloping ceilings with exposed beams. Its south and east-facing orientation allows plenty of natural light to flood in and enables residents to enjoy the views from numerous rooms.

Access to the property is via an Andalusian courtyard with a fountain, which leads to the main living areas. On the main floor are the living room with a fireplace, the dining room, the refurbished kitchen with a separate laundry area, and a study. This level also features a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a private terrace. The living areas open directly onto the terraces and the garden, facilitating the connection between indoors and outdoors.

The lower floor houses three further bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and access to terraces. Among these is the master suite, which is spacious and has its own terrace. This layout allows the communal areas to be separated from the private sleeping quarters and offers independence to both the owners and their guests.

The basement features a spacious multi-purpose area, currently fitted out as a semi-professional gym, games room and storage space. Its layout allows this floor to be adapted to various leisure or wellness requirements.

The outdoor areas have been designed to make the most of the natural surroundings and the views. The landscaped garden surrounds a heated swimming pool and several terraces designed for relaxation and outdoor gatherings. Recent improvements include a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a bar, a bathroom with a shower, additional storage spaces and a relaxation area with a large Balinese bed. Solar-powered garden lighting allows these spaces to be enjoyed at night as well.

The plot’s elevated position offers privacy and panoramic views over the hills, sheltered valleys and the Mediterranean. Monte Mayor is characterised by its large plots, with a minimum area of 2,000 m², and by a natural setting where it is common to spot wildlife, including deer.

This villa offers an alternative to contemporary buildings with minimalist lines, featuring Mediterranean-style architecture, traditional materials and spaces adapted to modern living. Its layout, the improvements made and its location within a gated community with 24-hour security make it a suitable choice both as a permanent home and for enjoying extended stays on the Costa del Sol.
